Parts needed:
1 MMI A/V cable
3 male to male AV connectors
1 HD to AV convertrr
1 HDMI cable
1iPhone to HDMI
Sorry if you cant read the text on the image.
Basically I mention how I got my MMi cable on Amazon for about 20$. Got an extra small charge cable for the hdmi to av converter. And a right angle HDMI cable.
Portrait mode looks terrible and too small but landscape looks great. On my iphone it defaults to landscape when watching movies etc. I can even lock the phone while watching youtube and the video will still play perfectly fine.
Decided NOT to mount it in the car. And just use it when I want to.
cool mod and with VIM unlocked its a must have.

Thanks, will try
I did see a USB to HDMI convertor on line. To me the Convertor and the cable didn't quite look the same, as the convertor is a box, needing a power input etc. So perhaps the convertor does a bit more, maybe.
Anyway thanks for the responses. I will try the convertor and see if it works and post a reply.
I also found another cable that goes into the MMI slot but it's other end is a wide one (similar to the old iPhone 4 type, but not exactly that. I am trying to go through the Audi book to find out what that is and try to see if that's any different.
Will post, if successful.

Could you please show the phone connected to the system? I have used a cable wrap to get the HDMI and power together and going into the Apple HDMI adapter, which is as close as I can go. The cords hide away in the center console under the armrest where I could put my phone to be totally hands free. There however is a cable bundle.

Nifty. I guess I don't see why you have it right under the screen you're mirroring.
Are you using an iPhone? Hard to tell. If so, what cable are you using?
